I was fortunate enough to be at this show. As a recovering addict, so many of Jason’s songs have made a huge impact on my life and sobriety, but this is by far one of my favorites. When he began playing this, I started crying along with many others in the crowd. I raised my hands to the sky with tears streaming down my face. It felt as though I was hearing a pure and honest prayer being sung in church. And since the Ryman is actually an old church with the pews still remaining as seats for concert-goers, the experience couldn’t have been more powerful or moving. It was one of those deeply spiritual moments I won’t forget. Thank you, Jason. You’ve impacted more lives than you know. Thank you for using your talents to help so many!

My boyfriend and I, both addicts just celebrated 3 years together and have already endured for better or worse and this song is literally our story. Makes me sob every time I hear it. ❤🥺

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I have never loved someone this hard nor have I been loved this hard either. beautiful.

After all these years, Southeastern is still one of those albums that I can listen to from beginning to end without ever touching the needle. The whole experience cuts deep in the most hauntingly beautiful way. This song is one of those gut punches that I happily come back to again and again. Thank you for sharing your gift.

That smile he gave her before the last verse said everything!💕😍❤️😍❤️

Jason and Amanda are amazing writers and performers. The world is a far better place with these folks in it. My wife and I shared our first dance to "if we were vampires" on 9/9/17 and I can't think of a better song to call ours. Many thanks to this man!

This song is absolutely perfect and sums up my life experience that lead up to meeting my wife 21 years ago. And she uses me for good to raise our daughters and love her fiercely!!!

Just found out about this song and this band 3 days ago. Wtf. Mind blown.

Never heard this Morgan Wallen fellow. Jason has been writing amazing tunes for years now

Sadler Vaden absolutely murdered that solo. Impeccable performance by everyone truly..

Stunning. Chilling. Haunting. Genius

My mom and Jason were friends in highschool. My dad would listen to him sing for hours at a local bar with his friends (for the wonderers, it was LaFonda's in Florence, AL) The first time Jason ever played this in public was at Shoals Theater before southeastern came out. He had to stop at the Richmond on high verse because he was crying, if that does not tell you how much emotion there is in this song, I hope it does now.

It's amazing to see how much the crowd appreciate this song, they are not singing with him, they are LISTENING to him. They cheered about the sober up part, but no heckling... Damn, just amazing.

this song seems timeless, like it was the first time I ever I heard it

"Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good". Wow Jason, this live version is immense ❤

His voice is incredible, raw, and fills the arena. But better than his voice is his song writing abilities.

Ever grateful to have discovered Jason just a few years ago and I'm also recovering addict. Unless you are don't think you can fully grasp sentiment of some of his lyrics and if you are it instantly resonates with you.

It’s impossible to not think this is an incredible song and performance. He was just as passionate playing it 10/8/23 in Chattanooga.

That slide guitar is phenomenal

I have followed Jason since his time with Drive by Truckers....he has evolved into a national treasure....he really broke out after he sang this on ACL and how they rock out on this version is

Love her shades & vocals❣️✊🏽

My number one favorite Isbell song (and it's hard to choose from--there are so many of them). The raw admission of need in this one is breathtaking. 'Pretty sure my husband said something similar to me the first time he told me loved me thirty-years ago (different words, same beautiful meaning).

I love this song. It makes it so much more beautiful to see the love between these two people the connection they have. I hope I have that one day to love and be loved like that what an amazing gift to give and to receive.

Saw him open for Chris Stapleton back in 2016. Not gonna lie, I’d never heard of him before. But I’ll always remember him singing this one. Such a great song.

Omg. Sadler. Just so good.

I keep coming back to this in the last few days, reliving the Palais Theatre in Melbourne ,,,was a great version on the night, everyone in the band contributing to make such a powerful rendition 👍👍

Jason has been open about his appreciation and blessing of Morgan Wallen's cover of this song. It was not my cup of tea considering my introduction to Morgan was his song "Whiskey Glasses" which in my opinion is the antithesis of "Cover Me Up". But I respect them both and glad Jason spoke out and tried to calm the fan base down. This performance here is the reason why we are so passionate about the song and why Jason and the 400 Unit reign supreme. The killed it.

And I'm definitely not saying that because of what he said, couldnt give a shit bout what he said. Just dont like new country. With the exception of Tyler and a few more. Also Jason is one of the best sonwriters of this era, if not ever.
